QOL does come pretty fast. I got hired in June. I've held a line for the past 2 months and I'm able to get weekends off.

Remember the E190 had a short stint in CLT as well.
The biggest issue isn't the pay it's the trips, look at them, they are commuter schedules except instead of going all around the system you do BOS and LGA almost exclusively, with a RDU and IAH thrown in for good measure every other week.
If you want $$, second year min guarantee on it pays around $125k. But instead of having a block as an AB guy you're on short call.
Not to mention the essentially three year seat lock, 2 per the contract plus another one for the company to release you.
The only time it makes sense $$ wise is on year 2 pay, after that the AB is neck and neck with better seniority, trips, and schedules.
If it paid another $30/hr you'd get more takers.

I'm leaving for the AB next month and will actually miss the shuttle flying.
